My path through this field and my practice has been unique in many ways.
I've focused my practice on substance use issues and addictive problems in people lives. For years I worked with wo men in eating disorders treatment utilizing an addictions model. Later I focused on men, and substance use disorders. Problems can stem from using drugs as an unproductive coping skill to a deeper more physiologically based problem. Our first job together is to find what your specific problem looks like and then find a way forward that's suited to your needs. In addition I also offer services evaluating clients for Substance Use Disorders in Family Law and Criminal cases.

Do you want to feel more at home in your own skin? Do you wonder why you haven't already "figured things out"? Do behaviors and beliefs that once helped you survive now keep you from authentically relating with others? Does your gut tell you there is another way of being, but you just can't seem to get there? Whatever your aspiration or longing, being a person isn't easy and transformation can feel daunting. Having struggled with these questions myself, it would be my honor to accompany you on your path. My approach is informed by a therapy model called AEDP, which seeks to undo aloneness and draw upon your innate healing capacity.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified in EEG Biofeedback. I use cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help my clients have more control over their emotions and accomplish their therapeutic goals. However, you are the real expert on yourself and the most important part of the counseling process is that we establish a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, not judged and truly understood. Research shows when this type of relationship is formed, therapy is more effective and you will feel more comfortable to engage in self reflection and more likely to experience positive change.

As an existential-hu manistic therapist, my mission is to help you uncover and embrace the profound meaning and authenticity within your life.
Have you spent your life thinking that who you are is fundamentally "wrong", perhaps due to being neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, or raised in a restrictive religious environment? Do you feel empty and alone, just "going through the motions"? Struggling with shame, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues rooted in trauma? These valid struggles can make an authentic life seem unattainable, but addressing them can turn hopes for a better life into reality.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
